Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology/Molecular and Cell Biology/Collaboration of the Month/Update how-to

When the 1st of the month rolls around, it's time to update our MCB collaboration!

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do so:


 * 1) Identify nomination with greatest support (in case of a tie, choose the nominated article that has been listed longer).
 * 2) Remove the winning nomination from WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Collaboration of the Month and add it to WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Collaboration of the Month/History, inserting the relevant information (article rating & OldID hyperlink of the last edit before promotion).
 * 3) Add an "after" hyperlink to the previous CotM & update the article rating if it has changed.
 * 4) Edit the talk page of the previous CotM from MCBcur to MCBprev (inserting the month of the collaboration as such:.
 * 5) Edit the current CotM talk page from MCBnom to MCBcur.
 * 6) Edit Template:Current MCB COTM to reflect newest CotM & place most recent in the "last month" slot.
 * 7) Finally, edit Template:Wikiproject MCB, replacing the link to the previous article with the current CotM. ← Template:Wikiproject MCB is now fully protected, so this step must be performed by an admin.

Huzzah! You have finished!

Simple, right?
